And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 19 of Numbers. The regulations detail how those who have touched a corpse must be purified and how contamination can be transmitted to people or objects. Death appears as a source of ritual impurity incompatible with proximity to the sanctuary. The regulation does not deny the reality of death, but establishes a procedure through which the community can recover the ritual condition necessary to participate in camp life.

Und dies soll ihnen ein ewiges Recht sein. Und der auch, der mit dem Sprengwasser gesprengt hat, soll seine Kleider waschen; und wer das Sprengwasser anrührt, der soll unrein sein bis an den Abend.
Y les será por estatuto perpetuo: también el que rociare el agua de la separación lavará sus vestidos; y el que tocare el agua de la separación, será inmundo hasta la tarde.
Esto será para ellos estatuto perpetuo. El que rocíe el agua de purificación lavará sus ropas; el que toque el agua de purificación quedará impuro hasta el atardecer.
Ce sera pour eux une loi perpétuelle. Celui qui fera l'aspersion de l'eau de purification lavera ses vêtements, et celui qui touchera l'eau de purification sera impur jusqu'au soir.
E questo sia loro uno statuto perpetuo; e colui che avrà spruzzata l’acqua di purificazione lavisi i vestimenti; e chi avrà toccata l’acqua di purificazione sia immondo infino alla sera.
Isto lhes será por estatuto perpétuo; e o que espargir a água da separação lavará as suas vestes; e o que tocar a água da separação será imundo até à tarde,
這要成為你們永遠的定例。此外,那彈除污穢水的人也要洗衣服。凡碰除污穢水的,必不潔淨到晚上。
